He's only the bestest adept ever!

With his super amazing and the best adept move ever pull on constant watch for unshielded enemies, and his DoT reave ready to sap anythign and everything, including lifted enemies for an added KABOOM, he really is the most cool and swave of all the adepts.

Also his cluster grenades! If ya can't pull it, blow em up with self-induced bio-bombs! These puppies also send grunts flying out of the park!

How can you NOT like the Drell Ade-WRRRRRWRRRRRWRRRRRWRRRRR <3

[Delta 57 Dash]

Reave is probably the single best biotic power in the game.

It sets up detonations. It sets off detonations. It deals bonus damage vs. Armor and Barriers (Hi Reapers!). It has a short cooldown. It fires hitscan. It can have a THREE METER radius. It can give you up to 40% Damage reduction.

i would use the Drell Adept more if i wasnt in love with the Asari and it didnt make so much noise!

But it has the biggest drawback too...

While I do agree that Reave (and Drell adept in general) is quite , it has one major disadvantage: It lacks the +50% biotic explosion damage/force boost that warp (and throw/pull) has. So it's not necessarily the undeniable bestest of priming biotics.

Cluster Grenades > Pull. Reave is the best ability the game. Not so good against geth, though...

[Unnamed_Shadow]

yeah i hate the Reave noise....its annoying, its like hearing a Marauder having sex with a Geth.

i also love melee with the Drell. In fact i dont heavy melee at all just to see the kicks XD.

I was playing with a good team the other day, we cleared a few silver matches with minimal problems (I usually play bronze - I've got crud for gear). No mics, but we worked like a team should. After the third match full of jolly cooperation, I switched to my drell adept, because, yes, he's the bestest adept ever.

3 kicks in about a second.

THANKS, TEAM.

I can't stand the Drell Adept. Pull only works on non-shielded targets, and Reave only detonates when pull actually works, so doing massive Biotic Detonations is nearly impossible. Apparently Cluster Grenade sets off a combo, but they still are limited quantity and grenades just always find a new way to miss completely. I accidentally decided to use a Drell on gold difficulty instead of my normal Asari, since oh so many people love it. Huge mistake, I was completely useless and didn't even get 50% of the points of the third to last player.

[Iodine]

It helps to work with those other people you get stuck sharing a map with, since they can set off your Reave primed targets quite nicely. Just make sure you get the kill and don't let them steal any of your precious, precious points.

I just dislike the drell's low shields. Other than that reave is the best AE biotic skill. Curious if anyone has try a build only maxing pull/cluster grenades? I know that pull does no damage to armored targets so it can not set-up biotic explosions on boss types. I do not think a pulll/cluster build would do to well on Gold.

I don't find any trouble finding targets lacking in shields. I find pull to be expecially usefull against cerberus guardians, as it yanks away their shields. As for the grenades, they always fly at your redicule, so if you need to set off your own biotic explosion just target the chest and let your bombs fly.

Also, did you remember to use your ammo packs to restock your grenades? With the speed of the drell you can just run around the entire map restocking between waves. I never run out.<3

Protip: play with another biotic.  You Reave, they whatever, stuff EXPLODES.

I did a Geth Gold with my Drell Adept in 15 minutes, and I had 120K points.  I reaved, the asari warped, and the salarian energy drained in between explosions.  NOTHING LIVED.

[darkblade]

He's good, but he's no human. However the sheer damage that can come from pull + nades or reave + nades is scary.

If I remember the calculations/numbers right, it is still roughly balanced when fighting organics if you spec Reave for full damage reduction, as long as you keep Reave in effect on an organic enemy.

Humans/asari have 500/500 base health/shields, with r6 fitness spec'd for health/shields it becomes 825/825. 825+825=1850 total points of damage you can take.

Drell, on the other hand, have 600/250 (or something like that) base, and 900/450 at r6 fitness spec'd for health/shields. 900+450=1350, and with the 40% damage reduction, it becomes an effective 1890 (or maybe it was even 22xx, but I think 1890 was the proper way to calculate it) total damage you can take, which is roughly balanced with humans/asari.

Plus you have 50% additional DR when cartwheeling around and 20% more movement speed, meaning you can actually be surprisingly survivable as a Drell adept.

It's been a while since I did the calculations and those numbers are just from memory, so someone please correct me if I'm remembering wrong.

Edit: Forgot to mention, the reason I say "roughly balanced" even though it's higher is because health doesn't just regenerate like the barriers, so if you get caught not utilizing that 40% reave and 50% dodge damage reduction, you'll be at a disadvantage until the next wave or you use an ops survival pack.

If I had a team that was working well, and someone switched to Drell Adept, I would probably try and kick the Drell rather than find a new group, especially for Silver.

Drell Adepts are awesome, and I hope that someday, I can play as one or with someone else who is playing as one, but as they are now, whenever Reave gets that inevitable bug where it grows incredibly loud and goes on in an indefinite loop, I just lose my damn mind.  I can't have fun, nor can I play worth a crap because I'm too distracted with thinking of how retarded it was that an awesome, respectable dev like Bioware released the game with Reave's sound effects in this condition and haven't fixed it yet. ARGH!

I've been kicked several times post-game after dominating with the drell adept.

You're just bad

[OhoniX]

For those that haven't bothered with them, I'm typically not a fan of grenades in this game, since they are in limited supply and tricky to aim in the heat of battle, but Cluster Grenades are brutal. Seriously. The fact that they spread on impact makes it much more likely that you'll be tagging people, and throwing the mass of them into a bigger target like an Atlas or Brute does a lot of damage. On a DreAd you should at minimum get the +1 ammo upgrade, but increasing the other stats would not be points wasted. All I know is, of all the classes I've tried, my DreAd had the high score most often of any of them.

This is the problem with them.

DA with someone in the party to detonate /setup reave----> AMESUM!
DA without someone in the party detonate/setup reave ----->AWFUL!

Pull is basicly a poor mans non-persistent singulartiy.   Reave does some cool stuff, but it's actual basic damange is pretty low.   A Drell trying to set up combos by themsevles is a sad drell.

If you play with any other biotic, they can do the same exact thing.

If the only time a a Drell Adept is useful is when relying on another person, then they are broken. The only reason you even got that many points is because whoever primes a Biotic Explosion steals all the points, instead of sharing some. A Drell is at a disadvantage since Pull doesn't set off anything, and it is the quickest spell they have. An Asari and Sentinals have Throw which can set off pretty much anything. The only advantage a Drell has is that Reave instantly hits a target, where Warp doesn't.

I can go to any match as a lone biotic on gold, and take down entire groups of enemies by just causing biotic explosions while a Quarian sabatoges, Salarian Engineer decoys, or Salarian Energy Drains. None of these classes rely on another to complete what they do. If your class requires extra work from someone else to be effective, then they are at a disadvantage to these other classes.
